Oh THIS is VERY funny.
I’m still enjoying how MAGA Twitter will never live down that they’re all troll farms from Russia and Bangladesh. The whole MAGA ‘movement’ has been fake bullshit from top to bottom from the very beginning.

A reminder that Starbucks employees are on strike for their rights. Do NOT cross the picket line to buy your coffee there. Make it at home in support of worker's rights.

Made Paul Hollywood's Gala Pork Pie with a hot water crust. First time making it (& translating g to oz--not always successfully).

There's a bunny in the turtle run. The tortoise wouldn't mind because she loves mammals, but she is currently in hibernation in a box in our bedroom.

This is pretty cool. Seeing in real time raccoons domesticating themselves. Shorter snouts, less cartilage in the ear (for floppiness), and less fear of us. Are raccoons set to be the next new pet? www.scientificamerican.com/article/racc...
